Almost Forgot.....

A few days before Christmas Dw was contacted asking if we would be interested in being interviewed for an article in our town's newspaper about parents with kids depl*yed during Christmas.

We loved the idea!!

Dw and I met up with the reporter in Starbucks one afternoon and spent about an hour with her.

I cried most of the time and after told her how therapeutic it was!!

The crazy thing was that in the midst of the interview my cell rang! It was our treasured son calling all the way from wherever he is....my hands always shake as I slide to unlock the keypad...undoubtedly nervous that I am going to slide it the wrong way {I know, what a goof!}.

The reporter seemed almost as tickled as we were that Ty should be calling at that very moment -

Very nice article. It is so hard to put into words the feelings of your child or loved one is serving in a distant country. My daughter is a missionary in South Korea and has not been to the states for 9 years for Christmas. Her 'duty' is serving the Lord and Christmas is a high priority. She has not been in harms way - having previously serving in Taiwan. South Korea is an 'iffy' situation. My heart goes out to ALL that are away from their home country this season. God Belss the military and those serving the Lord during this season. My word verivican is 'cryin", how apropriate.
